Cast away our sins and be gracious with Your works; You see that there is no person¹⁶Of sufficient piety to plead for us. [therefore] deal charitably with us.

And No’ach too, You remembered with love, and [therefore] decreed for him a promise of deliverance and compassion, when You brought the flood-waters to destroy all flesh because of the wickedness of their deeds. Therefore, his remembrance came before You, Adonoy, our God, to multiply his seed like the dust of the earth, and his descendants as the sand of the sea; as it is written in Your Torah; “And God remembered No’ach⁴⁵According to the Midrash, since there is no forgetfulness before Hashem, the words וַיִזְכֹּר אֱלֹקִים אֶת נֹחַ, imply that Hashem took cognizance of No’ach’s virtuous deeds. According to Rashi, He took special cognizance of the fact that No’ach provided for the animals in the ark for twelve months. and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the Ark, and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were calmed.”⁴⁶Bereishis 8:1.
